Need help with fans.

[troubleddoge]

The motherboard I'm getting can only support two system fans so I'm planning on connecting the two included BitFenix fans from the Prodigy M to the psu and buying two BitFenix Spectre Pros. I have the EVGA 600B non-modular psu, how do I connect fans to it?

Why not get an extra fan header hub? If that exists, I think it does.

Yeah, molex to 3-pin splitter. (like this one)

I don't really care about control over the fans... always on max and cool is good with me. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to connect fans.

Like a fan controller?

 

EDIT: I misunderstood.

Those allow for more fans and stuff..

No, something you connect to a motherboard not for more control over fans, but for more fans instead of just two, like up to 10. Fan controllers only allow monitoring.

Is this better and cheaper than connecting fans to a psu (if thats even possible)?

You don't connect fans to a PSU, you connect them to the motherboard and the MOBO gets power from a24pin connecter

Something like this except for this is the only one I could find on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Phobya-4-Pin-3-Pin-Splitter-Connection/dp/B007S3T4O0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400788036&sr=1-3&keywords=fan+splitter

You can't put ten on this, but you're able to control fans via the hub instead of through the motherboard.

there are fan connectors you can plug into a molex on the PSU not sure where to find them tho, i got one laying around here.

Its a non-modular psu though...

 so is mine  but what people have said here would work, a fan controller or fan hub would allow you to plug in more fans even if you dont care about the control they give

and loud

Why don't you just get splitter cables? And plug them all into the mobo.

I was curious about those. What would they be called if I wanted to search them on Amazon?
